Use of facile mechanochemical method to functionalize carbon nanofibers with nanostructured polyaniline and their electrochemical capacitance

A facile approach to functionalize carbon nanofibers [CNFs] with nanostructured polyaniline was developed via in situ mechanochemical polymerization of polyaniline in the presence of chemically treated CNFs. The nanostructured polyaniline grafting on the CNF was mainly in a form of branched nanofibers as well as rough nanolayers. The good dispersibility and processability of the hybrid nanocomp...

Electrochemical Synthesis of Polyaniline Nanoparticles and Nanofibers

The electrochemical deposition of polyaniline nanofibers and nanoparticles have been investigated on gold electrodes by cyclic voltammetry and their morphology by high resolution scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. The type and dimensions of the nanostructures obtained depend on deposition conditions such as monomer concentration, scan rate and electrical potential. We hav...

Electrochemical fabrication of polypyrrole nanofibers and their characterization

Polypyrrole (PPy) nanofibers have been fabricated on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) usingelectrochemical technique. Electropolymerization of pyrrole (Py) for the fabrication of PPy nanofiberswas occurred on GCE by applying a fixed potential of about 0.85 V for 120 sec in a mild basic solutioncontaining sodium carbonate and sodium perchlorate. In the mild basic media, the monomer, Py, isoxidized ...

Development of Carbon Nanostructured Based Electrochemical Sensors for Pharmaceutical Analysis

Pharmaceutical drugs play an important role in human life since they caused a revolution in human health. Notably, their administration to a living organism helps body to stay healthy. Commonly, they are employed to diagnose, prevent, or treat and cure a disease via a biological effect on a human body. Administration of impurity-free and adequate amounts of pharmaceut...
